Rogue's 1M short shift kit is designed from years of experience building BMW shifters, and addresses many unique shortcomings of the OEM shifting system that are often left ignored with more basic short shifter solutions. From the shift carrier on, Rogue has improved on BMW's own shifter design.

Rogue's modified BMW shift carrier raises the pivot point of the shifter, effectively raising the handle height without increasing the length of the throw for a more ergonomic solution. The carrier also perfectly centers the shift lever, giving the correct shifting geometry, ensuring a smooth feel. Delrin carrier bushings round out the carrier, and give the shift lever itself a stable base with no deflection, for added precision.

By relocating the shift lever's position up and to the rear, the shifter is positioned closer to the steering wheel for a better, more ergonomic feel. A special selector rod also allows for better geometry and a properly aligned shift mechanism

Made from Ertalyte TX thermoplastic material. This superior material maintains the vibration dampening qualities and built in lubricity of the factory pivot, but adds superior heat and wear resistance. Its coefficient of friction is 420% better than a stainless steel pivot ball. Depsite its hardwearing properties, we have made this pivot ball repleaceable for possible future maintenance.

Rogue shortshifter Levers also use superior bonding materials for the composite pivot ball and bushes (bonded in a similar manner to original BMW fitment) to achieve a shorter, more positive shift throw without sacrificing the vibration dampening that was built in by BMW.

Weighted Selector Rod (WSR)
Simply shortening the shift lever or moving the pivot point will not produce the optimal shift feel. The smooth action that sets Rogue kits apart comes from the unique weighted selector rod. This replaces the factory selector rod with a higher quality version that has significantly greater mass. This counteracts the additional leverage effort normally required with shorter levers so as to pretty much match the factory "lightness of shift", thus doing away with the requirement for a heavier shift knob as often used by inferior shift kits in an attempt to lessen the shift effort.
